But some people react like you kicked their dog and called their kid ugly: really, really personally.

William is the heir whether he does his “job” or not. He inherits the income from the Duchy of Cornwall (and later the Duchy of Lancaster) whether he gets out of bed in the morning or not.

Whether or not Joe Q Public decides his level of engagement is “enough” or not doesn’t change that. And it certainly isn’t affected by whether or not some American thinks he’s lazy. Plus we all know there is no amount of work he could do that would make you like him. So your comments are meaningless.

He's the heir to 15 thrones. 3 are out the door immediately in 2022 because he came to their islands after 40 years of absence.
I expect another 5 or so to follow. Williams problems occur when the remaining thrones realize he's lazy as f and Charles/Queen are dead or housebound and can't keep up public appearances and engagement levels to shelter him.

The UK spends 110+ million a year on the royal family. How long is that going to fly with an absent ruler, a new $240 million royal yacht, a $600 million renovation of a palace no one lives in, and the UK government squeezing every penny out of the taxpayer while standard of living and NHS benefits are declining?

He is threading a very fine needle and making a poor show of it when at 40 - he should be the most active he's ever been in his life. Just some thoughts.

Every time you write "lazy as AF" just reflects on you. If you aren't British why are you getting so worked up? What do you want him to do? Not see hos children or wife? What would satisfu you? I suspect nothing.

Not see his wife and children?? What world do you live in? Neither of them have jobs and all three kids are in private school full-time. George is leaving for boarding academy in the fall to top it off (it’s good for a future king to develop self-reliance and leadership skills).

They’re going to send a ten year old to boarding school? Is that just speculation? Did William and Harry even go that young? William and Kate also seem like a more modern and tight knit family- it wouldn’t be surprising if they opted out of boarding school.

Actually, he’ll only be nine. That shouldn’t even be legal.

I think it's fairly traditional from age 8 in aristocratic British circles.

As a mom of twin 8 year olds that’s heartbreakingly young to be away from your parents. How horrific. I say that as a person who’s family members typically go to boarding school for high school.

It’s different in the UK - schools are within an hour or two max of home and kids that young go home every weekend. It’s also the tradition in British upper class/landed gentry/royals. That being said, still a lot at the elementary level!

[b]. What a horrific practice.

This. Children are still forming social and emotional attachments 8 years old. They’re babies! Why even have children if you send them off so young to only see them on the weekend, assuming that’s the practice. Talk about dehumanizing people from an early age ….

I agree that boarding school at age 8 is a pretty terrible idea, but how is it so very different from families with two very busy working (or in some cases, not even working) parents who hire caretakers for their children and barely spend 5 mins a day with them? If the children are well taken care of and have friends it could be a happy place for them.

You don't sound like someone who has experienced a British boarding school. I have and I can tell you they are horrific places. And I went to one of the more liberal ones. If you're not being beaten by older boys (or worse) you're being given booze and cigarettes and getting into trouble.

Not as an 8yo. I did go to one at 14 but I’m female. There was definitely some hazing and bullying but some kids basically had parents who didn’t care for them at all and they were much happier at school.

Of course I have kids. Kids who I adore and who I spend a ton of time with. I am, by all accounts, a wonderful mother who is involved and has a strong relationship with her children. Even my mother in law thinks I’m a great mom! 😉
I have no interest in sending my children to boarding school. But I do know a lot of kids who grew up with basically no interaction with their parents, shipped off to school or raised by nannies.
This doesn’t really have much to do with the Cambridges, who, for all their many faults, seem to be relatively loving parents (though I’m sure they employ a large staff of childcare help too, i don’t really follow them much).

The rota has been saying it for years. Almost all of the articles featuring leaks by William or Kate have talked about William being “incandescent with rage,” like it’s a good thing. I don’t know what that means for their marriage but I can’t imagine he’s a ball of fun privately.

You’re trying to come off as normal but it’s obvious you’re one of the psycho stans for this weird family. You don’t follow them much but you’ve determined they’re “loving parents?” And sending kids off to boarding school at 8 is the same as living at home with busy working parents? I feel truly bad for your kids.

Mmmhmm, but they're adding it to their books now. They don't do that without pretty good sources. Like the accounts of Charles and Diana in the past.

Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, is destined one day to be king. Determined to serve his country as his grandmother, the Queen has so selflessly done for seven decades, William is the epitome of a loving husband to Catherine, and a devoted father to their three children: George, Charlotte and Louis.

In public, William appears calm, balanced and determined. He is passionate about safeguarding the environment and helping to protect species under threat of extinction. The Duke and his wife have also worked tirelessly to remove the stigma that continues to mark mental health problems.

In private, however, those close to him say that William, while being a dedicated servant of the Crown can be volatile, defying his calm, family-guy public demeanour. It is also said that while William demands deference from royals of lower rank, he rarely shows it to those above him.

More and more I can understand why Harry and Meghan left. All the power to them. Harry seems remarkably more well adjusted and human and overall sane.

But some people react like you kicked their dog and called their kid ugly: really, really personally.

William is the heir whether he does his “job” or not. He inherits the income from the Duchy of Cornwall (and later the Duchy of Lancaster) whether he gets out of bed in the morning or not.

Whether or not Joe Q Public decides his level of engagement is “enough” or not doesn’t change that. And it certainly isn’t affected by whether or not some American thinks he’s lazy. Plus we all know there is no amount of work he could do that would make you like him. So your comments are meaningless.

He's the heir to 15 thrones. 3 are out the door immediately in 2022 because he came to their islands after 40 years of absence.
I expect another 5 or so to follow. Williams problems occur when the remaining thrones realize he's lazy as f and Charles/Queen are dead or housebound and can't keep up public appearances and engagement levels to shelter him.

The UK spends 110+ million a year on the royal family. How long is that going to fly with an absent ruler, a new $240 million royal yacht, a $600 million renovation of a palace no one lives in, and the UK government squeezing every penny out of the taxpayer while standard of living and NHS benefits are declining?

He is threading a very fine needle and making a poor show of it when at 40 - he should be the most active he's ever been in his life. Just some thoughts.

Every time you write "lazy as AF" just reflects on you. If you aren't British why are you getting so worked up? What do you want him to do? Not see hos children or wife? What would satisfu you? I suspect nothing.

Not see his wife and children?? What world do you live in? Neither of them have jobs and all three kids are in private school full-time. George is leaving for boarding academy in the fall to top it off (it’s good for a future king to develop self-reliance and leadership skills).

They’re going to send a ten year old to boarding school? Is that just speculation? Did William and Harry even go that young? William and Kate also seem like a more modern and tight knit family- it wouldn’t be surprising if they opted out of boarding school.

Actually, he’ll only be nine. That shouldn’t even be legal.

I think it's fairly traditional from age 8 in aristocratic British circles.

As a mom of twin 8 year olds that’s heartbreakingly young to be away from your parents. How horrific. I say that as a person who’s family members typically go to boarding school for high school.

It’s different in the UK - schools are within an hour or two max of home and kids that young go home every weekend. It’s also the tradition in British upper class/landed gentry/royals. That being said, still a lot at the elementary level!

[b]. What a horrific practice.

This. Children are still forming social and emotional attachments 8 years old. They’re babies! Why even have children if you send them off so young to only see them on the weekend, assuming that’s the practice. Talk about dehumanizing people from an early age ….

I agree that boarding school at age 8 is a pretty terrible idea, but how is it so very different from families with two very busy working (or in some cases, not even working) parents who hire caretakers for their children and barely spend 5 mins a day with them? If the children are well taken care of and have friends it could be a happy place for them.

Please tell me you don’t have kids.

Of course I have kids. Kids who I adore and who I spend a ton of time with. I am, by all accounts, a wonderful mother who is involved and has a strong relationship with her children. Even my mother in law thinks I’m a great mom! 😉
I have no interest in sending my children to boarding school. But I do know a lot of kids who grew up with basically no interaction with their parents, shipped off to school or raised by nannies.
This doesn’t really have much to do with the Cambridges, who, for all their many faults, seem to be relatively loving parents (though I’m sure they employ a large staff of childcare help too, i don’t really follow them much).

You’re trying to come off as normal but it’s obvious you’re one of the psycho stans for this weird family. You don’t follow them much but you’ve determined they’re “loving parents?” And sending kids off to boarding school at 8 is the same as living at home with busy working parents? I feel truly bad for your kids.

My kids are fine. And very loved. You have some reading comp issues. And I don’t think you understand that I’m not talking about typical middle class busy working parents, but the type of parents who basically have children as status symbols but dont spend any time with them and hire all their care. It’s a very different type and one I have seen quite a bit growing up in the UK, Asia and US. I really don’t care about these people but at the very least they seem to like their children which is better than I can say for a lot of parents I know. I was fortunate to have one parent who was very involved while the other traveled a ton and mostly ignored me - but when they were around they did show me ways in which they cared for me, things some of my friends never got from either of their parents.

so first it was busy working parents and now it’s only wealthy working (or not) parents? Ok, keep moving the goalposts for your silly claims, which are still baseless. You seem to think you’re smarter than you are, like the Cambridge’s. I guess it explains why you’re such a fan.

Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, is destined one day to be king. Determined to serve his country as his grandmother, the Queen has so selflessly done for seven decades, William is the epitome of a loving husband to Catherine, and a devoted father to their three children: George, Charlotte and Louis.

In public, William appears calm, balanced and determined. He is passionate about safeguarding the environment and helping to protect species under threat of extinction. The Duke and his wife have also worked tirelessly to remove the stigma that continues to mark mental health problems.

In private, however, those close to him say that William, while being a dedicated servant of the Crown can be volatile, defying his calm, family-guy public demeanour. It is also said that while William demands deference from royals of lower rank, he rarely shows it to those above him.

This is the definitive account – insightful and nuanced – of the life of the Duke of Cambridge as he approaches his milestone birthday. Jobson explores the complex character of the man who will one day reign as King William V. It is the story of the making of a king for our times.

Interesting. I don’t doubt that William is entitled, arrogant and even volatile. I am surprised, though, that he “rarely shows (deference) to those (ranking) above him.” Wouldn’t that small group only include the Queen, Prince Charles — who is financially supporting him, and Camilla? It’s hard for me to imagining William being less than deferential to the Queen. Or biting the hand that feeds him when it comes to his father and his father’s wife.

Why? He's human and he has a temper. Charles has always been a bit of a pussy. Soft, maleable, and an intellectual. The exact opposite of his always angry son. His relationship to William has never been described as close, just like everyone knows Phillip couldn't stand Charles because they were polar opposites.

Anyway add on to the fact that the entire world has a detailed narrative and video tapes of the caustic marriage between his parents and the fact that his mother is dead after being stripped of everything that makes him a royal...yeah, I can see him being an asshole to him.

Yes, Charles supports him but unlike Harry he can't have William walking out the palace with holes in his shoes.

Now multiple authors have talked about his temper and disrespect.

However, unearthed reports show that even the Duke of Cambridge can occasionally blow his lid, as highlighted by Robert Lacey in his 2020 book 'Battle of Brothers'.

After Camilla Parker Bowles married Charles in 2005, she was taken back by William's "temper", the author claimed.

"In the years after her 2005 marriage to Prince Charles, Camilla has recounted to her own family and close friends her surprise at discovering this unexpected side to Prince Charming - 'the boy's got a temper!'

"Charles's wife had been horrified at the ranting and raving that on occasion William had unleashed against her husband in her presence."
